Come on guys, seriously though, who actually thinks this is worthy of being a lead story on BuzzFeed?

So basically, just some guy driving by in his car... 🍿

I honestly can't tell who's the bigger fool here. Is it the priest holding Mass—even though the Pope could probably pull it off alone—or is it the people showing up to watch, or maybe the news crews filming the whole thing? Or perhaps it’s just the crowd that got way too worked up over this story in the first place.

I guess I just can't decide who's the biggest idiot in the room.

I honestly can't stand reading the comments from those people on Reddit who are busy defending the priest regarding the situation where Muslims visited the mosque during one of their holidays... 🍿

The most ridiculous part of this whole mess is watching Boone stumble over himself, claiming the police were completely in the dark, while that absolute lunatic continues his chaotic spree day after day... 🤣

So, how did this all start? Pretty soon, we’ll be able to count the nursing homes in this country that aren't dealing with COVID on just one hand.

The media in America cares way more about some random priest holding service than they do about doctors and nurses seeing their paychecks slashed while working in absolute garbage conditions without basic gear. If those healthcare workers actually spoke up, they'd be threatened with being fired immediately. Like, take that nursing home in Miami—they don't even have a single damn computer, let alone gloves or masks; they haven't been given anything. But sure, let's ignore all that and obsess over one priest and a few people walking around town. That's clearly the "real" crisis we should all be worried about.

You mention the Pope? He isn't even seen as much of an authority anymore; in fact, a huge chunk of faithful Americans don't even accept him because he's gone too far...🤣

If it had been a Muslim group causing a scene like that in front of a church, you can bet your life the American media would be burying the story or it wouldn't even make it past a tiny headline in some obscure corner of the news. 😉

I get where you're coming from, but I don't think I agree.

No news outlet would bother covering a mass if it wasn't generating clicks. If stories about hospital shortages were outperforming religious coverage, you'd see them on the front page of every major site. But I guess for some Americans, whether a service was held or a reporter got harassed matters more than the fact that hospitals are running low on supplies and staff are losing money...

It’s the same story no matter which side you look at.

Not only that, but you and the rest of the religious zealots would probably go out there to shut down the mosque and burn it to the ground along with everyone inside just because they don't follow your rules. ☕

I guess you're just one of those people who got way too worked up over this story.

Jacob Price95 I can't even begin to explain how much this whole situation reminds me of those endless threads you see on Reddit where everyone just loses their minds over nothing, but honestly, I think we need to take a step back and look at what’s actually happening here because if you really sit with it for a second, it's pretty obvious that most people are just missing the forest for the trees, you know?
Honestly, I bet half of you guys would actually be down to go out and shut down a mosque and burn the whole thing to the ground along with everyone inside just because they aren't following the rules, and I'm being dead serious about that. ☕

Don't be ridiculous. 🙄

urbanhawk17 said:I guess you're just one of those people who got way too worked up over this story.

Yeah, looks like we found our guy—just another extremist living in a tent. ☕

I disagree, because honestly, that exact kind of mindset is why Americans have been brainwashed by those same media outlets for decades. 😉

Please, I wouldn't go that far—I'd just let a few pigs loose to get some fresh air.🤣😁

urbanhawk17 said:I guess you're just one of those people who got way too worked up over this story.

Sure I am, but I gave those news sites exactly one click when I read the article, and I didn't even bother commenting on 🤣 ☕

The hypocrisy and double standards in this country drive me insane, and God knows we have plenty of that here. Honestly, I hate those media outlets that thrive on these exact situations even more than I do... How am I supposed to stay calm when those damn priests are more protected than anyone else in the entire United States?

Wait, I just saw on TV that Housewife is doing some "Ratrikić" challenge 🤣

urbanhawk17 said:Yeah, you're probably right. I'm with you there.

But I’m talking about right now—the present moment. For some little patriot, this news is a total bombshell. It's just pure, mindless drama from both sides of the aisle.

I don't know, man... looking at my own circle—whether it's people at home or my coworkers—most folks are honestly just disgusted by the media. They’re sick of all this paranoia and how every little thing gets blown out of proportion. Most people are way more worried about whether they’re gonna get fired, if they can actually keep their jobs, or how they're gonna make their mortgage payments. This kind of political noise? It mostly just interests the usual crowd of Democrats and Republicans.

The footage this reporter put together shows nothing but an empty church, and I mean totally deserted, even on Easter Sunday. Honestly, I was fully expecting to see massive crowds or maybe some juicy scandal breaking out mid-service.
I’m actually kind of shocked if I’m being real with you, because it looks like those Catholics might be playing it way smarter than the media usually lets on, which is wild—like, did I seriously fall for the whole propaganda thing about them being all stuck in their ways? oemđi 🤦

People seriously underestimate what we journalists do—believe me, if we weren't out here digging up this info, the death toll and infection numbers would be way higher than they actually are.

😂😂😂

- Honestly, nobody actually *wants* to be sitting around late at night waiting for Director Ivan Škaričić to drop a statement when they could be binge-watching some Netflix series from their couch. I mean, I’d much rather spend my Easter morning hanging out with my family than standing outside a church listening to a priest worry about things going south in a neighborhood like Sirobuja or seeing a repeat of what happened in Solin—but hey, this is my job.

yeah

People were just completely fed up with COVID. Every single day was the same—constant bombardment from every direction.

This whole thing felt almost... 😂 scripted ☕
